stage hypnosis

[Unregistered101]

Hey folks, I've recently become intrested in stage hypnosis (well over the past few months) and have began studying ormond mcgills encylcopedia. But reading through the boards here it seems that the encyclopedia doesn't cover everything, like giving suggestions in different modalities. IS this needed for stage hypnosis? What else woul be helpfull to get my teeth into?
Thanks.

Hello unregistered101,

Words are all that are needed for stage hypnotism. While other skills are useful (such as working in other modalities), it's best to master one before incorporating others.

What do you mean by stage hypnotism is all words??

Also what is the best way to practice this? Ive been experimenting with the handlocking test does everybody have a different way of doing this??? At the moment it I can't get it to work, how do I work out what I am doing wrong? thanks.

Perhaps you should skip the formalities and just use handcuffs instead.........

Stage hypnotism is about speaking (words).
Other modalities need not come into play.
